The primary muscle that controls elbow movement is the biceps brachii, which flexes the elbow when contracted. Additionally, the triceps brachii is responsible for extending the elbow. These muscles work in coordination to facilitate various movements of the arm.

The motor neuron and the muscle fiber it controls constitute a what?

The motor neuron and the muscle fiber it controls constitute a motor unit. This functional unit is essential to the process of muscle contraction and movement in the body. When the motor neuron sends signals to the muscle fiber, it results in the activation and coordination of muscle fibers to produce movement.


What is the name of the muscle that produces a movement as compared with the muscle that produces an opposite movement?

The muscle that produces a movement is called the "agonist," while the muscle that produces the opposite movement is known as the "antagonist." For example, during elbow flexion, the biceps brachii acts as the agonist, while the triceps brachii serves as the antagonist. This relationship allows for coordinated movement and control in the body.
